We were lucky to catch up with Coach LaQueta Wheeler recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Coach LaQueta, thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear the backstory of how you established your own practice.
I started mentoring and coaching girls when I was in college to help them cope with the absence of their father. I was abandoned by my biological father when I was a child. I did not want to see young girls encountering what I experienced due to my abandonment. I was able to mentor girls at churches and at schools. During my mentoring and coaching sessions, I helped the girls to change their mindset while helping them overcome depression, panic attacks, insecurities, negative generational beliefs and low self-esteem.
I was so passionate about mentoring and coaching until I became a Certified Mindset Breakthrough Coach. As a Certified Mindset Breakthrough Coach at Faithful Coaching Solution, I specialize in helping single and married women on a global diversified scale to change their mindset while overcoming setbacks such as, but not limited to depression, anxiety, lack confidence, lack of motivation, low self-esteem, negative generational beliefs and lack of purpose and vision. With over 20 years of coaching and mentoring experience, I have helped numerous teenagers and women to identify realistic goals and life plans; helped them grow by providing tools and resources for success; motivated them to make positive life-altering changes.
At Faithful Coaching Solutions, I offer one on one coaching services and group coaching services. I develop and distribute transformational information, host live dialogues and provide breakthrough coaching sessions that causes my clients to Live Up, Faith Up and Level Up in their life and business. Currently, I am accepting new clients regardless of the state she lives in. Most of my sessions are virtual.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
In addition to being a Certified Mindset Coach, I am a motivational speaker, published author, the podcast host of the Faith Glows Podcast on Purpose and the Chief Executive Creative of Faith Glows, LLC. At Faith Glows, we help women entrepreneurs become a walking brand billboard for their company while providing services for customized apparel. Moreover, I am the founder of the Faith Glows Community for Queens (search this community on Facebook). The Faith Glows Community for Queens is a community for women’s empowerment, encouragement, inspiration, prayer and so much more.
My desire is to exemplify the love of God while inspiring and motivating the lives of those I encounter. I am indeed a servant for the Kingdom of God, full of energy and passionate.
I am goal-oriented, focused and driven to exceed at everything I am tasked to do. My mission is to Engage, Encourage, Educate and Empower women on global diversified scale to change their mindset so they can stop living in their past.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
There was a time recently when I illustrated resilience. One of the biggest struggles that I have faced as a Certified Mindset Breakthrough Coach was planning and advertising for two events that no one registered for. That’s right – I planned an event in May 2022 and June of 2022 and no one registered. I created an event page on Facebook which allowed the women to select whether they were going, interested or maybe going. I had 25 women to select “going” in May 2022 and 33 women to select going in June 2022. I sent individual messages to the ladies to thank them for their interest prior to the events. Did I become weary during May and June – I sure did.
I was led by the Holy Spirit to go on a sabbatical so I could regain focus and peace about my life and my businesses. I was on a sabbatical for four days with no interaction with my family and the outside world. It was just me and God. I was not sure if coaching was really for me during that time. Although I had successful events prior to May 2022, I was really discouraged because of the lack of participation. It was during my sabbatical when God told me to continue to trust the process. God reassured me that coaching was and still is for me. In addition, He told me that He was allowing me to build my audience more so I could have participation in the future. The sabbatical changed my entire life.
I trust and believe in God wholeheartedly. Therefore, I planned another event for August 2022 because I trust God and I know without doubt that He will always guide me in the right direction. The August event was very successful! I had women in attendance at my Mindset Breakthrough Masterclass from South Dakota, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Texas, California, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, and Virginia. Glory to God for my successful event!
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
One of the most effective strategies for growing my clientele has been showing up for myself on social media. I consistently post reels, pre-recorded videos, behind the scenes images and videos, engage with my followers and provide other valuable content to my audience. I am transparent and authentic about my life in public and in private. My authenticity allows women to connect with me more and it gives them hope about their past trauma and current situation.
